  • Giuliana Rancic Decides To Step Down As An Anchor For E!

    Giuliana Rancic Decides To Step Down As An Anchor For E!

    Giuliana Rancic announces her departure from her anchor post on E! News starting August 10.

    “For more than a decade, I was fortunate enough to play a role in the success of E! News and will miss my family at the show,” Rancic says.

    “At the same time, I am excited to not only continue as host of two major franchises on E! but also executive produce the aspirational new show Rich in Faith for Oxygen as well as take my wine and clothing lines to the next level,” the talented host adds.

    2015 has so far been hard on the anchor after a series of devastating events.

    Rancic’s decision came just a few months after the Zendaya controversy when the anchor criticized the 18-year-old singer and Disney star’s dreadlocks during the Academy Awards on how her hair looked like it “smelled of patchouli or weed” on Fashion Police and also after she endured a loss when the couple’s surrogate mother went through a miscarriage.

    She has also been criticized about her weight. In response to criticism, Rancic says “I know I’m too thin.”

    There has not been much information on the real reason of her stepping down from the daily flagship program. The network has not decided who they will place on Rancic’s soon-to-be vacant position.

    She will still be a Fashion Police co-host and Live from the Red Carpet correspondent.

    “During her time here, Giuliana played an instrumental role in building E! News into a global entertainment news powerhouse and while we will miss seeing her on set every day,’” says Adam Stotsky, the general manager of E!.

    Rancic thanks her soon-to-be former co-workers saying, “This is such a thrilling time for me and I thank the gang at E! for understanding my desire to embark on this next chapter in my life.”

  • Brody Jenner Gives Inside Look At Celebrities’ Take On Sex

    There’s good news for those who are missing Brody Jenner. E! wants to bring more pop to your culture by letting you have Sex with Brody.

    The network is turning the reality star’s The Brody Jenner Podcast with Dr. Mike Dow into a four-episode call-in talk show that will feature the 31-year -old “sex connoisseur” fielding questions and engaging in roundtable discussions on love, sex, dating and relationships. Apparently, no topic is off-limits to this show.

    According to the E! network, the provocatively (albeit unoriginally) titled Sex with Brody will have Kim and Kendall’s stepbrother “hitting the phones and the streets to encourage strangers to ‘strip down’ and reveal their burning thoughts around sex and relationships.”

    Bruce Jenner’s son has dubbed himself as a “sex expert,” a skill he probably learned while on reality shows like The Hills and The Princes of Malibu, plus the occasional guest appearance on Keeping up with the Kardashians.

    And he now apparently wants to share all of that valuable knowledge with his audience.

    But for those who prefer to receive advice from a more senior expert, author and relationship therapist Dr. Mike Dow is also on hand to give advice. The good doctor is known in TV land as the co-host of VH1’s Couples Therapy as well as hosting stints on TLC’s Freaky Eaters and That Sex Show on Logo.

    The inclusion of actress and comedian Stevie Ryan rounds up the triumvirate nicely.

    Guest appearances by April Rose, Christina Milian and Joanna Krupa are already lined up and are being billed as “an inside look at the celebrity take on sex.” That certainly brings it to another level. Celebrity sex is probably different from regular sex.

    Aside from basing it on his popular podcast, Brody is also executively producing the show. Sex with Brody will premiere on July 10 at 10″30pm on E!

  • Giuliana Rancic Loses Her Last Embryo After Surrogate Miscarries, Considers Adopting A Child

    Giulina Rancic can’t seem to catch a break. The reality TV star and her husband were dealt another serious blow in their quest to have a bigger family when their surrogate miscarried for the second time.

    The fact that this was the couple’s last embryo made it even more painful, something that Rancic acknowledged in an interview with People Magazine. She also said that “We were so optimistic with this last embryo” and thought that “This is definitely going to work. This is our last shot.”

    The petite star and her husband, businessman Bill Rancic, have always wanted to add another child to their family. Their son Duke, now 2 years old, was also born via surrogate.

    The couple had 3 more embryos remaining and decided to try for another child using the same surrogate. She miscarried after successfully being implanted with 2 embryos last year. Their final attempt with the last remaining embryo ended on New Year’s Eve when the surrogate suffered another miscarriage.

    Rancic’s grueling journey to get pregnant has been seen in detail in her TV show. Sadly, the TV host can’t get pregnant herself as she is taking cancer-suppressing medication after a breast cancer diagnosis in 2011 and a double mastectomy.

    Despite these setbacks, Rancic is still optimistic and determined. She and her husband are now considering adoption as a way to have another child.

    “I think adoption is a beautiful gift you’re giving each other,” Rancic said in an interview. She also admits that she’s more comfortable with the idea of adopting now – “Because I think to myself, ‘I love Duke so much, if I couldn’t take care of him, I hope there would be someone else who would love him.’”

    Giulina Rancic is admirably also keeping things in perspective, confiding to Life & Style that “If I don’t ever have another kid, I have to remind myself that I’m very fortunate to have what I have.”

  • Bruce Jenner Keeps Mum About His Male To Female Transformation

    Bruce Jenner Keeps Mum About His Male To Female Transformation

    The rumors surrounding Bruce Jenner’s brand new docu-series on E! Network caused quite a stir last week, but the 65-year-old former Olympian remains silent about his decision to transition.

    After People Magazine broke the news about Jenner filming an upcoming show about his transformation from man to woman, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star told his film crew to “keep everything hush-hush.”

    Kim Kardashian, Jenner’s stepdaughter previously dropped hints during her guest appearance for Entertainment Tonight last week. Mrs. Kanye West spoke about meeting Jenner and describing him as “the happiest I’ve ever seen him.” Kim along with her sisters Kylie, Khloe, Kourtney, and Kendall were all photographed cozying up with their dad. She captioned the photo with a simple “Family First.”

    When asked to comment about the rumors surrounding his stepdad, Kardashian said this: “I think when the time is right, he’ll talk about whatever he wants to talk about.”

    “Of course we support Bruce 100 percent,” she said.

    If the sisters are backing Jenner’s choice, not all family members are in favor. Kris Jenner was reportedly shocked when the news broke while she was vacationing in Paris. A source claimed that Jenner is requesting her daughters to help her start an intervention for Bruce.

    Last year, Jenner made headlines after reportedly reducing the size of his Adam’s apple shortly after his separation with Kris. On his 65th birthday, Bruce was seen wearing bright red manicure. He was also photographed with juicier lips while driving around Santa Monica.

    Bruce is reported to have slowly eased into the transition. He takes cautious steps to not cause a stir in his family. Jenner has 10 children and stepchildren from his relationships. Until the show airs, let’s just all be happy that Bruce is becoming more and more confident about his next chapter in life.

  • Joan Collins Returning To TV In “The Royals”

    Joan Collins is making a return to TV. Though unexpected, her return will be in an interesting role.

    She will star in E!’s first scripted series called The Royals. The show is about a fictional royal family based in modern day London. It will be an hour long and will run on the E! network.

    Joan Collins, 81, will give life to the character Grand Duchess of Oxford, otherwise known as the mother of Queen Helena. Helena is played by Elizabeth Hurley.

    Helena is said to be a woman of great power who knows how to get what she wants.

    Kevin Plunkett, SVP of scripted programming for E!, said, “This is a big idea and Mark, Brian, Joe and the Lionsgate team delivered. They have an extraordinary track record at crafting buzz worthy content that reflects and drives the pop culture discussion,”

    He continued, “This team, working on this concept, with this cast is a great way for us to launch our first scripted show.”

    Collins described her character as “the only woman in the world more formidable and imposing” than Queen Helena. Joan Collins’ character, the Grand Duchess, will sweep into the story line with “an entourage and an agenda.”

    Sounds fun and not too unlike her personality as Alexis Colby on Dynasty.

    Collins is excited to be returning to TV again after a sizeable absence. She is primed and ready to take part in the show.

    “I am delighted to be part of this very entertaining project,” she said.

    Jeff Olde, executive vice president of original programming & development for E!, said in a statement, “We are excited that E!’s first original scripted series will transport viewers into a world that they are already intensely interested in, but reality cameras would never give them access to.”

    He continued, “The Royals will offer a fictional look behind the very public gilded façade of the palace gates to imagine the private, lush, fun, sexy world of the most-watched celebrity family on the planet. It’s a perfect series to introduce E! viewers to scripted pop culture programming on the network.”

    Congratulations to Joan Collins on her new role!

  • Chelsea Handler Goes Nude For Finale of Show

    On August 26, Chelsea Handler will end her run of seven years of hosting her talk show, Chelsea Lately, on the E! network. Handler first began her career as a stand-up comedian and made the transition to late-night in 2007. With the send-off of her show, Handler gets an opportunity all of us fantasize about almost on a daily basis – quitting our jobs in any fashion we wish. In Handler’s case, that fashion appears to be nude.

    On her Instagram account yesterday, Handler promoted the finale of her show by displaying her good-looks at 39 years old. Being a comedian, Handler most likely knows the first rule of success in advertising: sex sells. While Handler may not be donning her birthday suit during her final show, you better believe her nude stunt will drive viewers to the finale.

    Handler’s first post included the tagline: “Getting ready for my final shower scene. August 26th is the one hour finale. Orange you glad I told you?” (Orange most likely being a pun on her self-tanning colored skin tone.)

    And her second photo was tagged with the much simpler, yet funnier, “I’m a Kardashian.”

    The second photo likely stems from a long, deep burning dislike Handler has developed for the culture she was part of for the past seven years, hence the reason for her leaving E! and taking her talents to Netflix:

    I think if you participate in the celebrity world then you don’t really have a choice but to be involved in the drama. You end up getting so into the mix that it changes the topics of the day. You can sit around and complain about all that s**t and the Kardashians all day but if you’re participating in it then what can you do? It really didn’t feel great doing the show and the only way to sort things out was to extricate myself from the entire situation.

    Handler will be pushing the limits on her finale, though, as she is inviting 50 Cent to her studio for the first time since the former lovers parted ways. Handler will also be joined by her friends Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock.

    And, if the two photos above weren’t enough of a Handler fix for the day, here is a nude shower scene featuring Handler and none other than Conan O’Brien. (Is that really Conan’s body…?)

  • Kendall Jenner: Might ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ Hurt Modeling Career?

    Kendall Jenner is fast climbing the ladder to a successful career as a fashion model. Might appearing on Keeping Up With the Kardashians in some way hurt her career or hinder that success? Rumor has it the Givenchy model is now trying to separate herself from the reality show that has made her family–including sisters Khloe, Kourtney, and Kim Kardashian–a household name.

    “She has been advised by friends in the fashion industry that reality TV could damage her modeling career,” a source said recently.

    It’s interesting to note that despite such a warning, Kendall Jenner is under contract with E! to continue appearing on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. She has opted, however, not to become involved with a spin-off series that is in the development stages.

    “Kendall had the option to pull out of any other potential shows and that’s exactly what she’s done,” the source added.

    Strangely enough, Kendall has recently demanded twice the typical pay she makes per season for appearing on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Is this Kendall’s way of trying to get canned so she can move on with her modeling career? E! is presently touting Kendall for a Teen Choice Award. If her demands are true, maybe they simply haven’t caught on yet?

    The world of top fashion models is a rather elite group–and it doesn’t just include the models, but agents and photographers, too. Face it, Keeping Up With the Kardashians is a pretty trashy TV show. Being involved could actually make a difference in how people within the modeling world perceive Kendall Jenner. Some might take her far less seriously because she stars on a reality show.

    Hopefully Kendall continues to prove herself in the jobs she has already acquired. She has certainly turned heads walking runways for both Chanel and Givenchy.

    There’s no doubt that Kendall Jenner has what it takes to make it in her choice of careers. Will a career that was chosen for her–that of a reality TV show star–get in the way of her realizing her dream?

  • Kate Upton Talks Playboy, Male Grooming, And More

    “I never like to say never” was 22-year-old supermodel Kate Upton’s response to the question of whether she would ever consider posing for Playboy. The question was asked during an interview with British GQ at an event for Gillette, where Upton was a brand ambassador.

    “I never like to say never because there are circumstances that I could do pretty much anything if it inspires me and if I think that it’s cool at the time,” she shared. “But right now, at this point in my career, I’m not doing Playboy.”

    She also shared her thoughts about what she looks for in a man, saying “confidence” is the key to attraction in her mind.

    “I think, really, it’s all about confidence – it’s however a guy feels the most confident,” she said. “And anytime someone walks into a room who is just exuding confidence, I think whatever they’re doing is amazing.”

    And do some men take grooming too far, sending the wrong messages to women?

    “I think there is a fine line between grooming when you’re confident and you appreciate yourself, and grooming because you’re insecure,” Upton said. “I think some guys try to please what other people think they should look like, instead of knowing how they feel the best in themselves.”

    Her personal meal preference when a man cooks her breakfast in bed?

    “I always feel great after green juices and I always have eggs in the morning,” she said. “I think a little bit of everything is good in moderation. But if a guy was going to cook for me I would eat whatever he put in front of me!”

    The supermodel also opened up to E! at a fan “meet and greet” event at the Express store in Times Square about how she balances a busy work schedule and time with her family.

    “Well, you know, I always try and make time for my friends and family,” she dished. “It’s important to me. Actually, I’ve been trying to take more time off so I can be better at work and be more on my game.”

  • Jessica Simpson Marries Eric Johnson

    It’s official! Jessica Simpson is once again a married woman!

    After four years and two children together, Jessica finally tied the knot to her fiancé, former NFL player Eric Johnson, at the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California, according to PEOPLE and Simpson’s publicist Lauren Auslander .

    “We are overwhelmed with complete happiness and love having made our eternal commitment,” the newly married couple told PEOPLE in an exclusive joint statement on Saturday, July 5. “To say ‘I do’ in front of family, friends and, most importantly, our children has been the happiest moment of our lives.”

    The couple said their nuptials in front of more than 250 guests including- Ashlee Simpson, Jessica’s sister, and her fiancé Evan Ross, Jessica Alba, Cash Warren, CaCee Cobb and Donald Faison.

    Simpson and Johnson started dating in 2010 and have two children- two-year-old daughter, Maxwell, and a one-year-old son named Ace. “I couldn’t ask for a better man in my life right now,” Simpson said about her relationship with Johnson in 2010. “I’m in a great place and if right now could last forever, I’d take it.”

    According to Auslander, Ace served as the ring bearer while Maxwell walked down the aisle as the flower girl accompanied by Ashlee’s 5-year-old son, Bronx.

    Both Jessica and Eric have had previous marriages, and it looked like their wedding day was never going to come. The couple had to put their wedding plans on hold twice, but for two very special reasons. “I definitely look forward to the day that I can look into his eyes and make that commitment that we both really long for,” Jessica said in 2013. “He’s just got to stop knocking me up!”

    Congratulations to the happy couple!

  • Kim Kardashian Speaks Out on Racism and Discrimination

    Kim Kardashian spoke out on racism and discrimination on her personal blog back in May.

    In an entry titled “On My Mind,” the television and social media star said motherhood has changed her perspective on the subject:

    “To be honest, before I had North, I never really gave racism or discrimination a lot of thought. It is obviously a topic that Kanye is passionate about, but I guess it was easier for me to believe that it was someone else’s battle,” she wrote.

    North is Kardashian’s daughter with husband Kanye West.

    “But recently, I’ve read and personally experienced some incidents that have sickened me and made me take notice. I realize that racism and discrimination are still alive, and just as hateful and deadly as they ever have been.”

    On Sunday night Keeping Up with the Kardashians viewers got the story behind Kim’s words.

    Apparently Kardashian traveled to Austria back in February with baby North and her mother Kris Jenner in order to attend the Vienna Opera Ball. Upon arriving at the venue they were shocked to see “[s]ome random man … dressed up in blackface and … impersonating Kanye!”

    The man was Chris Stephan, an Austrian stand-up comedian, and he was yelling: “Kim, it’s me! It’s me! Kanye!”

    “I just am so confused. I don’t get why him or anyone else would find this funny. This is supposed to be some really nice, upscale event,” Kardashian said. “Like, how did this guy get in? Is this just like a sick joke?”

    Jenner added: “To have somebody so ignorant come to such a beautiful event and spoil it for everyone is just taking a huge step backwards.”

    Despite the fact that the incident made the two uncomfortable, they stuck around to do an interview with a German television host.

    That’s when they overheard a man use the n-word. While Kardashian and Jenner acknowledged that he was probably “trying to be funny” by making a reference to one of West’s songs, they found it “extremely offensive.”

    Kardashian’s experience with racism didn’t stop at the opera house. She claimed that on the flight home, a woman started screaming racist remarks at her and North.

    “It got so bad that the pilot had to come out and talk to the woman!”

    Stephan later posted an apology on his Facebook page, saying that he never intended to be racist and pointing out that he is of Arab descent himself.

    Eighty-one-year-old Austrian businessman Richard Lugner paid Kardashian $500,000 to attend the Vienna Opera Ball as his guest and sources say he also hired Stephan to appear at the event.

  • Maria Menounos Talks Body, Book and New TV Show

    Maria Menounos once wore a size 14 and now wears a size 2. She touts the process by which she lost the weight and gained her spectacular body in her new book The Everygirl’s Guide to Diet and Fitness. Within its pages she details how she lost the weight and more importantly, how she kept the 40 pounds off.

    E! recently caught up with Maria and talked about her favorite body part as well as about a new show she will soon be hosting on their network.

    “I feel like that’s definitely my best asset,” Menounos says of her abs. “It’s not easy. I remember watching Janet Jackson back in the day and being like, ‘Oh my god, her abs are amazing. My abs will never be like that.’”

    “I can work harder at them and have them be ridiculous,” she added. “But it’s just enough now. I get a little line and it’s good.”

    Maria Menounos doesn’t live on pieces of cantaloupe and water either. In fact, she says she recently indulged in a burger and fries–along with a milkshake. Can you really do that and maintain a svelte size 2?

    “You don’t have to eat and gorge on every last drop,” Menounos advised. “You eat what you want and then you move on. I ate all of the cheeseburger but one big bite. And then I didn’t eat all the fries and the shake. I just had a few sips and I was like, ‘OK, that’s enough.’”

    Of course Maria keeps up an incredibly active workout schedule as well, which is also detailed in her book. And the fact that she is a very popular TV celebrity no doubt adds a few additional perks to her life that make both working out and eating properly a bit easier than it might be for the average woman.

    Nonetheless Maria Menounos and her abs look spectacular and fans will no doubt look forward to more information about her new show on E! and whether or not she will continue to appear on Extra with Mario Lopez.

    Have you checked out The Everygirl’s Guide to Diet and Fitness? Do you think you could ever have abs like those belonging to Maria Menounos?

  • Chelsea Handler’s Talk Show Will End In August

    After seven long years, Chelsea Handler will be saying goodbye to E! and will be leaving her late night talk show Chelsea Lately.

    On Wednesday, the network said in a statement that they would be ending the talk show with a special hour-long season finale on August 26, 2014.

    “We are very proud of Chelsea Lately’s long-running success and the unique space that the series carved out in late night television,” said the president of E! Suzanne Kolb

    “Chelsea brought a distinct voice to late night with her acerbic wit and fearless commentary and we look forward to providing fans with a memorable send-off that lives up to that tradition. Most of all, we are grateful to the Chelsea Lately team for making this show so special for seven years.”

    Chelsea has been very open about wanting to leave the show when her contract expires at the end of the year. During an interview on Howard Stern’s radio show, Handler called E! a “a sad, sad place to live.” She continued by calling E! a failure and saying that they have no idea what they are doing. “They don’t know what they’re doing,” Handler added. “They have no ideas. It’s a failure.”

    After E! announced the cancellation of the show, Handler provided a prepared statement that said she enjoyed her time spent on E! and the memories she made. “I myself am more surprised than anyone that I was able to hold down a job for seven years, and it was a fantastic seven years,” she said. “I will always look back at my time on E! as most people look back at their time in college. I’m glad I went.”

  • Giuliana Rancic: Russell Crowe’s Awkward Interview

    Giuliana Rancic has interviewed countless celebrities throughout her time as an E! correspondent, and was recently asked if one interview stuck out among all of them as the most awkward. She told Bravo’s Andy Cohen that Russell Crowe really took the cake. What on earth did the Noah star do to qualify in this manner?

    “Russell Crowe was so mean to me,” Giuliana said. “I had been at E! for a year and I thought, ‘I’m going to go easy because he’s pretty tough.’ And so I said, ‘Are you excited to be here? Your big movie premiere.’ And he goes, ‘I’m contractually obligated to be here. What’s your next question?’”

    It didn’t end there either.

    “And I go, ‘OK, um, isn’t it so wonderful to see all the fans?’ And he goes, ‘That’s your second question?’ And then he goes, ‘One, two, you’re through’ and walked away,” she added.

    Wow. Can you even imagine being so rude? “Awkward” really seems to be a very mild description of Giuliana Rancic’s interview with Russell Crowe. He was completely, unacceptably rude to her.

    The Giuliana and Bill star will soon return to E!, as the next season of the show starts back up on April 1st. Fans are no doubt wondering if the couple will consider adding baby number two to their family. Will they move to Chicago permanently? One thing they definitely won’t be wondering is will Russell Crowe make a guest appearance on their show?

    Does Russell Crowe’s behavior during his interview with Giuliana Rancic surprise you? Or is this apropos for the actor?

    It sounds like Russell Crowe owes Giuliana Rancic a giant apology–or at the very least an exclusive interview (a polite one this time) the next time he’s in town.

  • Julianne Hough Opens Up About New Boyfriend

    Recently, we ran a story about Julianne Hough’s dating life and how she wasn’t in a rush to be coupled off with anyone, but now she’s opening up about her hockey boyfriend Brooks Laich and said she couldn’t be more content. But, she was initially a bit hesitant to reveal any details about the relationship.

    “You know I’m not going to talk about that,” she said in a recent radio interview. But then she broke down and starting talking about Laich a little bit.

    “He’s a wonderful guy,” she said. “I’m very lucky that my friend I shot Curve with, the movie I just did, introduced us.”

    An inside source for Us Weekly said Hough and Laich are ideal for each other and they have loads in common, like sports. “It works out well,” said the source. “They’re having fun. She’s happier than ever.”

    But it’s not just Hough that’s opening up about her new love, Laich is doing the same, as he spoke with a separate radio station and admitted that he feels extremely fortunate to be dating the blonde beauty. He also went into detail about how they met.

    “I’m a pretty lucky guy,” he said. “On set, apparently, he (the mutual friend) was talking with Julianne, and then asked her if she’d been seeing anyone, and she said no or whatever, and I guess he was watching our hockey game at the time,” described Laich. “I guess he just showed her the iPad and said, ‘Well I’ve got a guy for you.’”

    In an interview with the E! Channel, Hough also spoke about her workout regimen and said she actually had to slow down a bit, because she was exercising too much.

    “It’s been a challenge and I’m not going to lie,” she said. “I went through ups and downs and fluctuating. This last year has been about moderation and not killing my body and sleeping. Honestly, doing workouts throughout the day. I’ll just be sitting there, doing my tricep dips or something. Just anywhere.”

  • Oprah Winfrey Finds Lindsay Lohan Hard To Work With

    When word got out that Oprah Winfrey’s OWN was releasing a reality show surrounding Lindsay Lohan’s life, the world uttered a collect “Oh-Oh,” because we all know that Lohan hasn’t shown the most amount of responsibility in the past several years. And now Winfrey is experiencing some of that irresponsibility first hand.

    “There’ve been bumpety-bumps, bumpety bumps,” said Winfrey in an interview with the E! channel.

    But despite those challenges, it seems the show will still air on March 9. At least as far as Winfrey can tell. “But as far as I know, as of right now, whatever time this is, we’re still filming. And that’s a part of it, that’s part of live, that’s part of coming out and trying to put your life together,” she said.

    Most people first heard that Lohan and Winfrey were working together when the red-haired actress sat down with Winfrey in a no-holds-barred interview last year, but reports came out that Lohan was up to her usual tricks of jumping on a plane and leaving the country without telling anybody.

    In fact, the person from E! interviewing Winfrey alerted her to the fact that Lohan was out of the country, much to the former-talk show host’s surprise. “You would probably know more than I do,” said Winfrey, when she was told that Lohan wasn’t in the States at the moment. “As far as I know we’re still filming. Do you know something?”

    It’ll be interesting to see if Lohan completes the necessary amount of filming to get a decent show in, and if Winfrey has the patience to even deal with the 27-year old actress for a long period of time. But either way, it doesn’t seem that Winfrey is hiding her frustration, because when she showed a clip of the show to TV critics, she can be heard chastising Lohan. “My truth is, I really do want you to win, but if that isn’t what you want, I’m okay with that. I will tell these guys to pack up and leave today,” she said.

  • Michael J. Fox Dissed by The E! Channel

    Michael J. Fox Dissed by The E! Channel

    When one thinks of the term “fun fact,” he or she probably associates it with some sort of lighthearted truth, like Leonardo DiCaprio first starring in the show “Growing Pains” before making it big, or finding out that Woody Allen’s first film was “What’s New Pussycat?” in 1965. But for some reason the E! channel decided to take a very serious disease and make it a fun fact during the live streaming of its red carpet broadcast.

    During the show, a grey box appeared on the screen with the words “Fun Fact” in bold white letters and in the box it said “Michael J. Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 1991,” which of course caused an immediate backlash from viewers. Fortunately for E! the snafu came during the live streaming of the event and not on live television.

    But it wasn’t too long after the error that E! sent out an apology, and said that it recognized its crucial mistake. “We regret the insensitive classification of Michael J. Fox’s Parkinson’s diagnosis during our E online live stream,” said the network. “We understand the serious nature of the disease and sincerely apologize.”

    In a 2013 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Fox said that if he had the opportunity to be cured, he wouldn’t take it because Parkinson’s taught him so much. “If I walked into a room with God or Buddha or Bill Gates or Sergey Brin or whoever could figure out a way to fix it for me, I don’t think I’d do it,” he said.

    “The bottom line of this whole f–king thing is that it’s better. My life is better than it was, because I have access to these truths and access to these moments where I give myself a break and just go, ‘F–k it.”

    In addition, Fox said that people shouldn’t feel sorry for him at all, because he’s coping with the disease just fine. “People look at me and have fear and sadness in their eyes, which they think they’re seeing reflected back at them,” he said. “They wouldn’t see what I’m really feeling, which is, I’m okay! But people are afraid. They’ll realize that this is just my life, the stuff I was given to deal with.”

  • Kylie Jenner: Paparazzi Make Her Scared to Drive

    It hasn’t been an easy year for 16-year-old Kylie Jenner. Recently, her parents Bruce Jenner and Kris Jenner went public with their separation. And she also has to deal with the notoriety of being infamous due to her reality-television family.

    Last night, in an episode of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” which airs on E!, we got to see how much young Kylie fears the paparazzi that follow her around and invade her privacy. Although, the moment between she and her father Bruce, was shot several months ago, the television audience is just getting a chance to see how much fame is negatively affecting her.

    Here’s clip of the scene where Kylie confesses to her dad and in her confessional how she is actually scared to get her license because she fears driving alone. “When the paparazzi can’t find Kim, they just stalk the rest of us.” During the time this scene was shot, her uber-famous sister Kim, was still pregnant and counting down the days until the birth of her baby with Kayne West. Jenner’s reaction to his daughter’s fear and anger is priceless.

    In between Tweets about her E! Show and jewelry collection, she professes her disapproval of the paparazzi on her Twitter account:

  • Girlfriend Dumps Lochte on Reality Show

    Ryan Lochte gained fame last summer when he won two gold medals at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Since that time, Lochte has gained numerous sponsorships, appeared on TV, and even had his personality parodied by Seth MacFarlane on Saturday Night Live.

    Now Lochte has, as most minor celebrities seem to these days, his own reality show on cable. The E! network show What Would Ryan Lochte Do? premiered last month, following the Olympic athlete as he goes about his life. This week, the show found drama in Lochte’s life as the athlete’s long-time girlfriend broke up with him on the show.

    Lochte received a phone call during a dinner out with friend, which he didn’t seem happy about. He politely took his call outside the restaurant, where he attempts to get the TV show camera operator to stop filming. He apparently knew he and girlfriend Jaimee Holler were going to break up, as he turned off his microphone and walked down the street. He stated that he did not put their conversation on the show out of respect for Holler.

  • Clint Eastwood Goes Reality-Based

    Right turn Clyde! Clint Eastwood, the most bad-ass cowboy to ever grace Hollywood’s screens is still alive and kickin’ as many of you know, but he’s decided to venture into some new territory. The 81-year old actor/director has signed a deal with E!. Eastwood and his young wife Dina will appear with their two daughters, Francesca and Morgan in a new reality series that will bring viewers into their lives.

    Also to be included in the series will be the six male members of an African male cappella group called Overtone. Apparently, Overtone is his wife’s project. She manages the boys from Africa and has brought them over from their home to live in Eastwood’s Carmel, California mansion.

    Here’s a clip of Overtone performing:

    Unfortunately the reality show which will feature only cameo appearances from Eastwood, and be mostly centered around Overtone and his wife Dina. It sounds more like a, “will they make it big or not”, kind of show. I have to say, I am a little disappointed by the news. I was hoping it was going to be a little bit more ‘Dirty Harry’ and a lot less ‘Boys 2 Men’.

    Remember this guy:

    Oh Chief?, Chief? I was just wondering, I suppose that Mangey redbone hound is got no place else to go either?

    I can’t wait to see Josey Wales, I mean Clint Eastwood and how he comes across in a reality setting. I hope he has to shoot somebody! Just kidding. We’ll see if it delivers on any material that’ll ‘make our day’. Maybe he’ll come into the recording studio, spit tobacco onto his dog’s head and shoot the recording instruments while asking; “You fellas mind turning this down?, “a man needs his peace and quiet”. Somehow I doubt it, but you can bet i’ll tune in to see!
